- In this video I was on the hunt for some new rubber for the rear tyres. Also with a bit of downtime I thought it would be a good idea to clean up the 355 stroker engine.
Rubber is Nankang - 295/50R15
Still waiting on some parts so some exciting episodes coming up.
Thanks for watching and subscribe for more videos.
Hey Man 🙃 Love your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mate. Thanks for watching them and supporting the channel
G'day mate nice rubber
Thanks 👍
You got shafted on them tyres mate got same ones on my hj Ute paid $170each fitted and balanced
Where did you get yours from?
The long studs are for track and drag use incase the wheel becomes loose you dont instantly loose it.For street you can cut as required. I put a couple of nuts togeteher on the studs so i could cut all to exactly the same length with a cutting disc on mine.
Ok makes sense. Thanks for that....
Just watched all your videos and had to subscribe. Job well done so far. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the sub mate.
I'm amazed that you never got the urge to set up a jig and run that engine, I wouldn't have lasted that long
It was in storage for many years so just never really got the chance. Now it's getting close I'm very much excited.
@@ShenkeGarage another thing electrolisis occurs when black steel bolts and aluminium are together thats why car manufactures use plated nuts and bolts
@@Noote54 Thanks for that info mate
good value for money tyre, that's what i went with..
It seems like a good one
Looking great mate . When you reversed into the shed here we we're waiting for a skid haha
Hahahaha Maybe one day I might do one in the shed
@@ShenkeGarage with the tonner not the commo
The money spent on getting the extractors ceramic coated is worth it for both looks and thermal protection. I wouldn’t fit extractors on of my cars again without coating them first.
Hey there big Al. Yeah I think it should be worth it. Its not overly expensive and it should make them last longer, look better and better thermals like you say.
And yet, Paceys are painted 🤷♀️
@@markphilp2932 with shit paint. I will not fit extractors to any of my cars without getting them ceramic coated. Makes a big difference heat wise and they look good for a long time.
@@bigal878 that's my point. But I've seen some bad things with the chrome look
@@markphilp2932 I’ve had most my extractors coated in the black ceramic coating. But I hear what you’re saying Ref: dramas with the silver look.
Hey mate loving the videos! Just wondering about front wheels and tyres as well as rears are the wheels both the same sizes front and back just with different treads or have you got staggered wheels and tyres?
Hey Mate the rears are 10 inch rims and I believe the fronts are 7 inch rims. The rims are all 15 inch diameter
@@ShenkeGarage cheers mate! Are the rears 9.5 or 10? And would you happen to know the back space on both the front and rear wheels? Have you tried turning your wheels with the guards on yet to make sure they don't scrub at all?
Thanks for the video today.
Any time!
If you put stainless bolts in make sure you use anti seize.
Hey Mate yeah I used Anti seize on all the bolts.
Hi Sam try not to cut the wheel studs you might need to run spacers one day and you are killing it nice job bro 💪🏼👍🏽🇦🇺👌🏼
Hey Mate thankyou. I might have to cut them slightly to get the center cap on. They are pretty long.
Who gave you the lead time? And also, did you think about having the rear links coated as well?
Hey Mate. Lead time for the Headers to be coated? If so It was from the business that done them. Do you mean coating the rear links with the ceramic coating or just painting?
@@ShenkeGarage ceramic.. heard of cerakote?
Hey Mate the headers were done in Cermakrome. I never really thought of coating the 4 links but thats actually a good idea. It would look mint.
Thanks for that info.. did you look into it further? If a rock hits that and cracks the coating while hot, it'll rust. I know this because of the training I've done. Is there any way we can get in contact besides public comments?
I actually don't know why the links don't come coated in the first place 🤷
Be interested on how those tyres go. Planning on 275/60 on mine
Hopefully they provide a bit of grip. Surely anything is better than the BFG radial T/A's. You putting them on a Tonner? 295 fit no worries at all on standard width diff.
Nice one mate. Heard good things about those tyres. I just got me a DJI gimble too but for my phone cos I'm an amature ;)
Hopefully they go alright and provide a bit of grip. Going to need it. Nice Mate..... The Gimbal is a game changer. Super smooth footage.....
Hey mate long shot but I’m fixing up my tonner and wanting to keep the original front do you know much about the difference in the cowls hq-hx as mines a hx with the factory front on it still
Hey Mate the Cowl for a HQ only fits HQ as the section that welds to the dash is different. The other version for HJ - HX are pretty much the same except for where they weld to the Dash. So if you have a HX then you will want a Cowl to suit HJ - HX
@@ShenkeGarage cheers for the rely
Hey mate. Looking good. Just wondering if cutting the studs would affect the tensile strength of them. Would you be better off getting shorter ones instead. They will have a fair bit load on them when the rubber bites. Cheers
Hey Mate I think they will be fine cutting them back slightly. The load will be at the base of the stud so cutting an inch off wont cause any strength issues.
Hi Sam
Tell me some more about the engine and trans combo.
Hey Mate its all in the first episode of the One Tonner build. A quick rundown - 355 Stroker with VN heads, Harrop crank, scat H beams, speed pro pistons, vn heads pocket ported, 10.8:1 (I think) compression, crane 236/236 cam, torque power hi rise dual, ferrea valves, yella terra roller rockers.
@@ShenkeGarage who built the engine for you Sam?
Hey Mate is was Nathan from Promac engines in Mount Gambier SA
